TV speakers use the audio signal from the TV broadcast directly and usually do not allow input from an external source such as the Yamaha preamp, which is specificallydesigned for input to a high-quality stereo/multichannel sound system.

That's usually an option within the settings on your tv not the receiver. Might want to browse through some settings and see if it turned off the tv speakers when you connected to your receiver.

Setup the TV audio input to internal. Its probably using the HDMI Digital input from the A5000.

Since I don't use the TV speakers since I use a Bose surround system. I never could get the TV speakers to sound quite right. I do use Vivid picture mode and adjust.

Try this On your remote down toward the bottom find the "surround" button. Click over till your screen shows "Multi Channel Stereo" that is the setting I put it on for all speakers to work.

If you can connect via USB (like ipad, iphone, tablet) I suppose you could use as audio output. Google your question or ask Yamaha as a better siurce.

Not sure what your setup is but if you have picture and no sound check your audio settings. If it's set to output to AV Receiver you won't get sound to the TV speakers. That's my setup with the WD-73737 and a Sony AVR. I hope this helps but if not please provide more details on your setup .

Check the tv menu for audio options. Maybe there is an option to send the sound to external speakers that may need to select or enable. Make sure you are connecting the wires to the audio out jack and not accidentally into some other jacks.

I have to agree with you. I have a playstation 3 and a media extender for streaming vids/TV from my computer. That uses up all my HDMI inputs on the Yamaha. So what happens when I get a new device?? Yeah, I'm not really future proofed at all. I'd like to see 4 HDMI inputs.

I have this same question. I dislike that I have to have my television on to hear streaming music with my current setup. T. Steiner, Did you find any answers?

Hi Notorious A.G.A, Did you succeed receiving sound from TV to external speakers using an optical cable? It doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using "External Speakers" setting in the TV with the receiver powered on. I hear nothing.

Yes. There is an auxiliary audio jack on the back of the Desktop Audio. Connect the proper cables between the audio output jacks of the HDTV and the auxiliary input jacks of the Yamaha Desktop Audio. Select aux input on the remote and whatever is plugged into the auxiliary jack will play through the Yamaha Desktop Audio. The necessary cables may not be included.

Sorry, but I was NOT happy with the Pioneer unit, and returned it for a Yamaha. My advice: Get a Yamaha! I have 2 now, and they work flawlessly.

You just have to select the correct output "mode." There are several options including a stereo. Hope that helps.

Actually, in the setup menu of the BD55K you can scroll down to the audio configuration to set both DD and DTS to ouput PCM-only and downconvert to stereo. You won't have to repeat this process every time, and when at such time you upgrade your receiver you can always change these settings to output bitstream. But in the meantime Yamaha's proprietary DSP Soundfields should keep you quite "surrounded." It was quite effective as I remember :)

I bought a Yamaha sound bar that only connects to my TV. On the back of it is the place to connect the TV to the soundbar. The TV said Digital sound and the Yamaha only has optical sound I had to get the extra cord to make the connection work properly. Apparently this is very common with many electronic devices. The cables are much more expensive at local retailers.
